This time, the North American nation has suffered an attack from a hacker team belonging to the so called group New World Hackers, which distribute themselves all across Russia and China, and now launched a massive attack on the Internet Service Provider Dyn.

It was via Twitter, that that members of this organization informed the planning of a computer network of zombie computers to carry out simultaneously the incredibly high number of 1,2 data terabits per second to the servers owned by the Dyn company, which is herself responsible of providing internet service to other companies as Spotify, Twitter and media like Infobae, CNN and The New York Times.

Josh Earnest, a White House spokesman, had confirmed the monitoring from the National Security Department which are investigating in detail this Malicious Cyber Attack.

In addition to that, there was also another member of this group of cybernetic pirates, identified as Ownz, who held talks with the AP stating being 19 years old and residing on London, and with this attack made to Dyn the hacker group seeks to expose Online Security Vulnerabilities.

When this group carried out the attack on the ESPN website, Ownz was questioned about if any ransom were to be made to his target, which he answered with the fact that they would make a very compromising ransom, and that he advised everyone to secure and improve their websites, and to use a better server, because otherwise they’ll suffer new attacks.

Coincidentally, this cyber-attack against Dyn, which is the biggest of all in the last 10 years, is made after the government of President Barack Obama made Russia directly responsible for stealing information from the US to cause a stir in the upcoming elections, November 8.

This statement alleges that the Kremlin has extracted valuable information about the Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign, information that is then passed to the WikiLeaks organization for the purpose of giving favoritism to the Republican candidate Donald Trump, who has a political approach and has made several statements that are pleasing to the Russian nation. For this reason, after the latter cyber-attack, the Washington intelligence service of does not remove his gaze on Russia.
